up to the time Of his death. The writer visited
him several times during bis last illness, and
though suffering much physically, he was
calm and resigned, trusting in Christ and
looking to the time of his departure with the
cheering prospect Of better and happier life
beyond tho river of death. On my last visit he
was anxious to hear one more sermon and in

the room where he was. At the commence
ment of the service he suffered considerably,
but as the service progressed he was relieved
Of the difficulty Of breathing to great extent
and after service lie said to me, 'vrhe Lord

his faith never faltered. His cheerful DISPOSE

may be summed up in the words Of inspiration,
''For he was good man and full of the Holy

all that was mortal Of our brother was laid
away peacefully to await tho resurrection Of
the just. May the dear ones he loft behind
walk in his footsteps and finally join him in
the better land and rest with him under the
shade Of the tree of life forever.
